Spoon is back!

This is a picture of me waiting for Spoon at the SLC airport.  She went to California over valentines weekend to do some wedding planning.  I told her she can never give me crap for missing an anniversary, birthday, christmas, valentines day, or any other special occasion since she missed this one.  One lady at the airport was approaching me from behind to come see my sign to check if I was her ride or not.  She was so weirded out when it was a spoon sign.  Spoon arrived and cried then we ate at Olive Garden in SL, it was good.    

Diploma

I got my diploma in the mail today.  It felt so good.  I cried. Well just a little... maybe. After years of sweat and hard work, all nighters, huge papers, tests and classes I got this piece of paper.

Jim and Pam are engaged! Michael: To be married?!?!

So are we!  We became engaged on Christmas morning and the above picture is worth the 1000 words that I was going to write.  It was awesome. We will be wed on June 5th in the San Diego Temple. 

Here is the bling in partial glory but you should really see it in person.  Spoon is so spoiled (Alliteration).

Cassie's Mother made us an engagement cake and a BYU cake because I graduated. They tasted as good as they looked.

We had party and we did a toast  with sparkling cider.

Post BYU Beard

Thought I'd let my beard grow out a bit. After 24 years of either not being able to or not being allowed to, it feels so rad.  And mine is said to be better than Nate's, in some circles.  Oh yea, I graduated from BYU,  I got a bachelors degree in Latin American Studies.   And no, I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but it sure feels good to be done.  I am sleeping a lot these days to make up for the past years of staying up all night writing papers.

Football Picks

Spoon and I have a tradition of picking all the NFL games each week.  Last year she won 131-77 to 127-81. I am winning so far this year  75-41 to 71-45.  Spoon's mom has a pool at work and she asks us for advice.  With our help she won last week so she mailed us a gift card to Chilies!!! Here are our picks this week for those who are interested.   
                                         

I'm dressing up as a blogger for Halloween, and actually blogging

As you can all tell, we are terrible bloggers.  Well we are good at it, but we just never do it. For Old Hallows Eve Spoon was a very cute tiny little miniature Snow White, and I was a Mexican.  We went to Nate and Jill's house to hang and and at night we went to a party.  

About a week earlier we carved some awesome  Jack-o-lanterns, mine is the mummy, and the witch is the handy work of Spoon. They are real even though they don't look like Jack-o-lanterns. I know the witch looks like the better of the two but mine is truly cooler. 

Last week!!!!...TMI....
